Wilco the Podcast

Summertime is just around the corner. The weather is getting warmer and the road is calling. The boys select four songs from Wilco's catalog that would be a worthy addition to your summer road trip playlists.

On this week's episode the boys were able to connect with the hosts of an earlier Wilco-related podcast called Wilco Will Love You (listen here - https://wilco-will-love-you.simplecast.com ). A discussion about their introduction to Wilco, their personal artistic endeavors, as well as the future of their show is explored. Have fun hearing some Wilco nerds connect!

It's that time of the year when we wish our neighbors a friendly "May the 4th be with you." The boys take a deep dive into their favorite "underrated" Wilco album Star Wars in honor of all things nerdy. Also includes a review of the boys' recent visit to Record Store Day 2023.

Let's face it: we all have our favorite songs... and our less than favorite songs. In this episode the boys select songs that the other host is less fond of. Cases are made for why each selected song should be reconsidered. Enjoy the debate!

The boys explore the theme of addiction in the context of Jeff Tweedy's past struggle with opiate addiction. John Stirratt's steady influence on the band is celebrated.

Did you know that there's an entire sandwich shop in Canada based off of Wilco's music? In this episode the boys interview Chad Comfort and Dan Farlow, co-founders of Mermaid Avenue Sandwich Factory in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

The boys have been stuck on "shouting out" different things on the show lately. They realized that Wilco have also referenced other things within their songs. Some of their shout outs might surprise you.

The boys take on the topic of Wilco's moodiness. The topic is subjective in nature and allowed them to discuss the way Wilco uses their sonic landscapes in so many distinct and, at times, unconventional ways. An episode from the podcast Sing for Science is also referenced featuring Jeff Tweedy and Dr. Shimon Edelman that was released on October 5, 2022.( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/...
